Astrology Talk
The Astrology Talk podcast is a monthly conversation between two dear friends and fellow astrologers, Christina Rodenbeck & Sally Kirkman. We take a look at the month ahead, discuss what’s happened and generally chew the astrological fat. The main podcast is broadcast on the 18th of every month. Our style is friendly and fun, light and informative, yet our astrology is deep and incisive, accurate and relevant. We also host a sister podcast — Astrology Talk Investigates — in which we discuss a specific question. That comes out on the 8th of every month. You can find Astrology Talk on all good platforms, watch it on YouTube or listen to it here. Please subscribe so you don’t miss out, leave us a glowing review, share the podcast far and wide and, most importantly, join us as we talk about our favourite topic, astrology.

The Sun's move into Gemini and Mars' move into Leo promises a lively start to the month ahead. Some of you will be rushing around and talking at top speed, while others will be taking a steadier pace as big planet Jupiter plays a grounding role in earth sign Taurus. Yet, everyone is likely to be thrilled that eclipse season and Mercury retrograde is in the past.The theme of endings remains, however, with Pluto's move back into Capricorn on June 11th and Saturn in Pisces taking on a more authoritative role throughout the month. If Neptune in Pisces has brought us fake news and fantasy, what's Saturn's role in Pisces going to be?Christina & Sally debate what this means for AI, social media and the role of the internet. What steps need to be put into place so truth and honesty prevail?Join us as we look at the Full Moon in Sagittarius on June 4th, the New Moon in Gemini on June 18th and what this month's astrology means for you.Sally Kirkman: www.sallykirkman.comChristina Rodenbeck: www.oxfordastrologer.comSupport the show Hosted on Acast.

There is so much happening in the coming month so please do listen into our Astrology Talk podcast for guidance. The astrology can help your navigational skills in knowing when to move forward and when to slow down and be patient. For starters, there's a powerhouse Aries New Moon Solar Eclipse on April 20th starting a new Aries/Libra eclipse cycle that lasts until March 2025. This is both a symbol of endings and new beginnings.Plus, the Taurus/Scorpio eclipse cycle is completing this year and there's a lively Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on May 5th. Eclipses tend to bring what's hidden to light and they often coincide with key turning points in life. Here in the UK, the Coronation of King Charles III takes place on May 6th, the day after the Lunar Eclipse. If you haven't yet seen the invitation for the Coronation, do take a look. It's beautiful and a perfect symbol for Taurus season. There are interesting connotations to the date that's been chosen, including a nod to the Green Man. And, if you're wondering why royal events often coincide with eclipses, this isn't unusual. Charles was born during a Taurus/Scorpio eclipse cycle and he's being crowned King on another one. It's auspicious timing as the Sun rules the King in astrology and the Moon rules the Queen and eclipses often coincide with the rise & fall of leaders.Eclipses have a hidden theme as does Mercury retrograde, the communication planet. And, talk planet Mercury will be retrograde in earth sign Taurus from April 21st to May 15th, so it really is a time to stop, slow down and smell the flowers. Walk in nature, go on retreat.Also this month, the best planet Jupiter moves into Taurus on May 16th, the day after Mercury turns direct in Taurus on May 15th. Jupiter will remain in Taurus for the next year. This is when new opportunities could abound and those seeds that have been sown can grow and flourish. Finally, pay close attention to the money markets as the Taurus-Scorpio eclipse, Mercury retrograde and a powerful Jupiter-Pluto square on May 18th are all related to financial shifts.Do sign up to our horoscope services to keep up-to-date with all that's happening:Christina has a monthly subscription - www.oxfordastrologer.comSally has a weekly subscription - www.sallykirkman.com Support the show Hosted on Acast.

Ooh, it's exciting astrology as we leave 2022 and embark on a new year 2023. The Solstice on December 21st is closely followed by a lively New Moon on December 23rd that's raring to go. Note where Jupiter in Aries falls in your horoscope because this is where opportunities lie.Yet, Mars remains retrograde & Mercury turns retrograde on December 29th. This means that, up until January 12th, the planet of action (Mars) is on go slow &, up until January 18th, the planet of communication (Mercury) is on go slow - go figure! Slow it down, rein it in and avoid those New Year scams.Moving into 2023, there's a Full Moon in Cancer on January 6th that could prove revelatory and there are green lights galore on January 12th (Mars turns direct) and January 18th (Mercury turns direct). What may be exposed & brought to light?Yes, we should probably be joining the animals and nature hibernating during Capricorn season but, with so much going on behind the scenes, it's worth digging deep to find out more. Life will leap into action once again when there's a run of forward-moving planetary energy from mid-January onwards. Ooh, exciting times - do we expect anything less? Happy New Year - may it bring you peace and calm, happiness and joy.You can buy our 2023 stuff here:www.sallykirkman.comwww.oxfordastrologer.comSupport the show Hosted on Acast.

Astrology Talk Podcast
We are Sally Kirkman www.sallykirkman.com & Christina Rodenbeck www.oxfordastrologer.com, two well-known astrologers chatting over a cup of strong coffee or tea about our favourite topic – the language of the stars. Once a month, we take astrology by the scruff of its neck and give it a good shake out.
Our starting point is the star sign of the month and the major astrological events coming up.
As the conversation develops, we connect the astrology to what’s going on in the world. Most importantly, we highlight the significance of the month’s celestial manoeuvrings so you can find out what's coming up for you. Our aim is to bridge the gap between Sun signs and the language of real life astrology.
Our new venture is Astrology Talk Investigate with astro-detectives Kirkman & Rodenbeck. Short sharp snippets using the power of astrology to find out more.
We’d love you to listen in so do make yourself a cuppa and join us.
